具体描述
Beauty is neither a history of art, nor a history of aesthetics but Umberto Eco draws on the histories of both these disciplines to define the ideas of beauty that have informed sensibilities from the classical world to modern times. In terms of form and style, Beauty has been conceived for a vast and diversified readership: taking in painting, sculpture, architecture, film, photography, the decorative arts, novels and poems, it offers a rich and intelligent panorama of this huge subject. It traces the philosophy of aesthetics through history and examines some of the many treatises that have sought to define it. Beauty is Umberto Eco at his most captivating and eclectic: we read not only of Botticelli and Michelangelo but of how the fashion of the 1960s owes much to ancient Egyptian dress, and how ancient Roman and eighteenth-century hairstyles have much in common. It makes the familiar new, and sheds a brilliant new light on the unfamiliar. Illustrated in full colour throughout and produced to the highest standards, Beauty is an indispensable book.

读后感
此书不从任何先入为主的美学出发，而是综观数千年来西方社会视为美的事物，做多层次布局，以主叙述带出源源不绝的绘画、雕刻作品，并长篇征引各时代的作家与哲学家，书前附上多页依时代顺序安排的图片对照表，使自古以来的对于“美”的观点之演变史一目了然。作者以独到见...
评分我肯定Umberto Eco在艺术界、艺术史界是无名的。 举个例：在写到巴洛克时期时：作者文中一句：哥白尼与开普勒重新设计的苍穹下，天体之间的关系愈来愈复杂。他是不是想把此复杂和他认为巴洛克线条的繁复关联？把洛可可风格画家之一的 Watteau的《Pilgrimage to Cythera》与巴...
评分我都上传到博客了http://booktown.blogbus.com/logs/39421980.html喜欢的朋友自己下吧。
评分这本书本身是一本非常好的书，让我对西方美学历史有比较全面和真切的理解。 翻译者，我想，也是希望用“配得上”如此重要著作的词汇和句法来翻译出那种厚重和深刻。可是，似乎有点儿过犹不及了。阅读的过程中经常会被一些艰涩的词汇和古怪的句法阻挡，放缓阅读速度。
评分《美的历史》先写于《丑的历史》，但为满足我个人的猎奇心理，先看的《丑的历史》。《美的历史》相较于《丑的历史》，材料更为充足，文风更加严肃，作者的主观情感降为零，是一本非常冷峻的史书。而主题“美”，也比“丑”，更为受到正统和大众的关注，因此无论是流派，还是作...
